Publisher's Synopsis
'Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live
on that idea...This is the way to success...'
Swami Vivekananda is well known for not just his spiritual wisdom and
reformatory ventures, but also for his ground-breaking speech to the
1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago, in which he introduced
Hinduism to America and advocated for religious tolerance as well as an
end to religious extremism. Such was the effect of his iconic message, that
he was given a two-minute standing ovation after his speech ended! His
words are remembered by everyone in the modern world, for their wisdom,
kindness, inclusivity, eloquence as well as simplicity. His words continue
to teach not just India, but the entire globe, about spirituality, personal
growth, acceptance and harmony. This book contains 25 of Vivekananda's
most eloquent and illuminating speeches, such as 'Paper on Hinduism',
'Bhakti', 'Krishna', 'The Soul and God', 'The Sages of India', 'Practical Religion:
Breathing and Meditation' and several others, which have not only taught us
the true meaning of worship and life, but have also evoked in us, a desire
to explore and enhance our bodies, minds and spirits as well as our love
for God and one another.
